Lorn,

When I=20 flipped my plane upside own to work on it I found several kink/rub = points that I=20 cleaned up. One was the linkage connection to the strut. On my = strut=20 the weldment tab rubs along the sides of the linkage which gouged = the side=20 of the linkage. I carefully filed down both sides of the = linkage just=20 around the hole, tapering back to the standard thickness to remove = any=20 stress riser and fit one washer on both sides. This kept the weldment = from=20 rubbing and greatly lowered the rotating contact area. It rotates freely = now. It=20 seems like I have seen some with true rod end bearings as=20 well.
